    May 11, 2021 VIA ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION The Honorable Kim Schrier The Honorable Brian Fitzpatrick Representative Representative United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Kathy Castor Representative United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representatives Schrier, Fitzpatrick, and Castor: On behalf of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP), I write in support of H.R. 1025, Kids’ Access to Primary Care Act of 2021. This legislation would help ensure that children and adults enrolled in Medicaid have access to primary care services. We strongly believe this legislation would encourage increased access to primary care services in the Medicaid program and drive greater health outcomes for enrollees. ACOFP is the professional organization representing more than 18,000 practicing osteopathic family physicians, residents and students throughout the United States who are deeply committed to caring for all patients regardless of their insurance coverage or economic status. We strive to deliver high-quality primary care for our patients, especially vulnerable populations who are covered under Medicaid. However, we recognize that Medicaid payment rates for primary care services are chronically lower than Medicare and private insurance rates, which can lead to access issues for individuals covered under Medicaid. Primary care payment rates for Medicaid equal approximately 63 percent of the amount paid by private insurance and only 74 percent of the amount paid by Medicare.1 Unfortunately, the lower payment rate discourages some providers from participating in Medicaid, causing delays in care and resulting in worse outcomes for low-income and vulnerable Medicaid patients.

    July 31, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Chuck Schumer Speaker Minority Leader House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC, 20515 Washington, DC, 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer: Thank you for your leadership in securing necessary resources for communities and states in previous stimulus packages. In the midst of the nation’s most acute health care crisis in the last century, we must ensure everyone has guaranteed health care. Coupled with the historic levels of unemployment and economic instability, an estimated 5.4 million people around the country have lost their employer-based health insurance coverage, joining the roughly 30 million uninsured individuals at the outset of the crisis.1 Millions of people have fallen into the coverage gaps and cannot access Medicaid, COBRA, or the ACA marketplace. Allowing people to lose their health insurance in the midst of a public health pandemic is completely unacceptable. This is why we introduced H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, to expand our country’s reliable and effective public health insurance programs to provide health security for our unemployed and uninsured. We must do more to ensure everyone has the health services they need. Therefore, we are writing to urge you to include the following key provisions from H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, in the next stimulus package: ● Expand traditional Medicare to any uninsured person and their dependents who experienced a loss or reduction in employment during the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to expanded eligibility, H.R. 6674 includes expanded coverage under the Medicare program.

    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, The Capitol Building H-204, The Capitol Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: The potential exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for millions of Americans is one of the most pressing environmental and public health issues facing our nation today. PFAS, a large group of toxic man-made chemicals, are typically used to help make consumer and industrial products resistant to water, grease, or stains. Their widespread use in applications such as food packaging, commercial household products, electronics manufacturing and firefighting foams has resulted in the contamination of water and soil across the United States. According to recent analysis, more than 200 million Americans could be drinking PFAS- contaminated drinking water.1 In addition to Congressional action and stronger regulatory action from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a nationwide effort will be needed to tackle this challenge, relying on the federal government, state and local communities and industry partners to ultimately assess and remediate these dangerous chemicals. While prior federal funding has not been sufficient to address the issue, we believe there are opportunities this Congress to make historic investments to address PFAS. Therefore, we support the highest amount of funding necessary in a final legislative infrastructure package to assess, monitor and remediate PFAS. As part of federal PFAS funding, we also urge Congress to ensure that these dollars are appropriated and executed as part of a national, programmatic strategy led by the EPA.

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • Voters' Pamphlet
    Pierce County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election | August 16, 2011 "I am an American" Day observance, May, 1941, Jason Lee Middle School. Sponsored by the Tacoma Americanization Council. We're bringing back an old tradition. Published by the Pierce County Auditor's Offi ce piercecountywa.org/elections 253-798-VOTE (8683) or 1-800-446-4979 Message from the Auditor Dear Voter, If there is anything predictable about elections, it is change. Every year, something new is introduced. Budget reductions, new laws, fresh regulation…you name it. We take it in stride. Election year 2011 is no exception. Plenty has changed. • Vote-By-Mail is now the law of the land. Pierce County can no longer conduct polling place elections. • Our aging Express Booths have been retired. • We now have 23 Ballot Deposit Sites throughout the County. • Five new Voting Centers will be opened across the County. • “I Voted” stickers are back! Vote-By-Mail For 17% of Pierce County’s voters, this is a big change. Instead of driving to a polling place, a ballot will be mailed to your home. Simply apply a stamp and mail your ballot before August 16th. Or, drop it off at any one of our 25 Ballot Deposit Sites or six Voting Centers. Locations are on pages 8 - 10 of this booklet. Express Booths In 2010, we began the process of retiring our staffed Express Booths. In 2011, Express Booths have gone away entirely. It's expensive to staff these booths, move them, and store them. And, the booths were breaking down after nearly two decades of use.

  • Progressive Strategy Summit 2019 - Building Power for the Rest of Us!
    20 19 BUILDING POWER FOR THE REST OF US OCTOBER 24-25 • HYATT REGENCY WASHINGTON ON CAPITOL HILL 400 New Jersey Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20001 OUR TEAM 2 WELCOME TO OUR PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY: Thank you for joining us for our Progressive Strategy Summit 2019 - Building Power for the Rest of Us! We are coming together because we believe that even in the midst of a constitutional crisis, there is nothing more powerful than people power. We know that real change won’t come to Washington unless and until we listen to people fighting in Shakopee, Minnesota for Amazon to accommodate workers observing Ramadan, in Kansas City, Missouri for fair, safe and affordable housing, and in Orlando, Florida for living wages. That’s why this Summit includes grassroots activists from all across our great nation, national advocates and strategists, and representatives from the over 100 member-strong Congressional Progressive Caucus. It’s unique to have a caucus co-chaired by a union member, Congressman Mark Pocan, and a grassroots organizer, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. We’ll hear from people fighting for change on the front lines and people fighting for change in the halls of Congress. We’ll kick off with a town hall cosponsored by She the People and the Progressive Caucus Action Fund in which women of color grassroots leaders will come together with women of color leaders in Congress to discuss the work ahead to achieve racial, gender, economic, health, LGBTQ and climate justice. We’ll give awards to outstanding progressive grassroots champions and lawmakers. And we’ll keep rolling from there into important discussions about saving our democracy, building a powerful labor movement, listening to black voters, what it takes to win, and so much more.
